NOTHING DEFINITE
regarding ii, beyond the fact that they
would of course put up another mill.
The burning of the saw mills throws
200 men out OF employment, and this
fact worries the firm more than the loss
of their property, as a new mill can not
be built in time to do much this season,
and the bulk of the men employed are
dependent upon their summers labor
for their support. The Laird-Norton
company is largely interested in the
Winona Lumber company and the Chip
pewa Lumber and Boom company at
Chippewa Falls, Wis, and at the big
Hayward, Wis, saw MILL 1t is prob
able that they will meet what orders
that are pressing, from one OF these
mills. They now have on hand in their
Winona yard about 20,G00,000 feet of
lumber, and maintain forty yards
principally on the lines of the Win0na
u st. Peter railway in Minnesota and
Dakota. The business of the firm has
amounted to about S750,G00 annually.
They have been in receipt of offers OF
financial aid from different sources to-
day, but say they are thankful that such
are not necessary. The Laird-Norton
hose companies and the WinOna fire
department are deserving of much
credit for the faithfulneSS of their work.

The Fidelity sharps.

CINCINNATTI, June A.-Messrs. Har-
per and Hopkins, of the Fidelity bank,
spent the night in Jail. Harper is re-
ported to have slept soundly, while Hop
kinS spent most of the night walking
the floor. They were visited by friends
this morning, and were again making
an effort to procure bail. 1t is said that
Harper yesterday telegraphed TO Mr..
Whitley, of Springfield, Ohio, asking
him to come down and go upon his
bond, but at that time that great manu-
featuring concern was taking steps for
the appointment of receiver.
SPRINGFIELD, o., June A.-The dis
cOvery has been made that Whitley,
Fossler 81 Kelly prior 10 making the
motion to have a receiver appointed,
gave to the Champion Machine COM
pany an indemnifying mortgage of
$500, 900 ON all the property owned by the
firm. The mortgage states that the
firm borrowed this amount from the
machine company in prOmisory notes
on which they were negotiating loans.
The developments Indicate con-
clusively that the failure was precipi-
tated by the Fidelity bank disaster.
Two years ago Whitley assisted Vice
President Harper of the latter institl-
ton out of serious difficulty with
accommodation paper representing an
immense sum. When Harper realized
his own downfall was iminent he dis
posed of this paper to New York and
Cincinnati brokers without Whitely's
knowledge or consent. These brokers
Immediately pressed Whitley, and this

WINoNA. June 24.-The large saw
mill of the Laird-Norton company, Stu
ated OF the levee, was entirely destroyed
by fire shortly after O'Clock this morn
ing. When first discovered by the
Waterman the FIRE was beyond control,
the whole building seeming to be en-
veloped in flames at once. The watch
man Immediately gave the alarm by
blowing the whistle. The whistles from
half dozen other mills, together with
the fire bell, at once spread the alarm
throughout the city. and i'll a very short
time the hose companies from the mill
and the fire department were on hand,
and eleven streams were soon playing
on the flames. But it was useless work
trying to save the mill, and the firemen.
assisted by scores of willing citizens,
turned their attention to saving the ad-
jacent property and keeping the fire
confined to the saw mill. Fortunately
it WAS a quiet morning with no air stir
ring, or nothing could have saved the
manufactures and immense lumber
yards on the lower leYee. The Leat
from the burning mill was intense, and
it wasWith difficulty that the firemen
could get near enough at times to do
effective work. The lumber sheds in
the yards are all covered with iron. but
they became SC heated that the smoke

eral Office some distance away
SIZZIED AND CRACKED.
But the men worked faithfully, keeping
the building well drenched, ana nuiner-
Gus bucket brigades watched the yards

from spreading. The saw mill burned
to the ground, and the machinery is
almost total loss. The firenen worked
for about four hours. The total loss is

WASHINGTON, June 24.-From most
reliable source it was aScertained to-day
that the president intends to visit ST.
Paul this autumn, and he may be in
duced TO take the long-pr0mised West
ern trip even earlier. Mrs. Cleveland
has looked forward to a renewal of old
friendships in the SANITY City, where
she formerly resided, and it is under
stood that her wishes in this matter
have had great deal to do with i'll
flueneing the president in arriving at
his present conclusion. Ever since the
subject was preached at the White
house the presidents wife has been an
earnest advocate of the proposition to
enlarge their circle of acquaintance in
the West, and it is 10 her efforts princl-
pally that the citizens of St. Paul will
be INDEBTED for the long anticipated
visit of the chief magistrate. From
every quarter have come assurances OF
a royal welcome awaiting the distin-
guished couple. and members of the cab
met have been urgent III their solIelta-
tons that the president should take
such d trip as has been suggested.
1t is not definitely known how many OF
his cabinet viii accompany the presi-
dent, but Secretaries Bayard, Whitney
and Lamar have signified desire to be
included in the party, and will in all
probability go West in the special train
that will be placed at their disposal. A
change Of scene and climate has been
recommended by those interested i'll the
preservation OF the health of the presi-
dent, and he to-day made up his mind
definitely to accept the invitation OF his
Western constituents, and will spend
several weeks among them. This
etfectually disposes of all talk as to the
probability of an extra session of con-
gress, for there is no necessity for such
a proceeding according to the ideas OF
the leading men of the administration.

CAMBInDGE, Mass, June 24.-After

one of the most favorable for class day
exercises at Harvard college. Two hun
bred and thirty members OF the grad
uating class formed procession at 0:S0
O'Clock and marched to the chapel.
where Rev. f. G. Peabody made q short
address, accompanied with prayers. At
later hour the class again formed in
line, with the cadet band at its head and
under the marshaiShip of f. S. Cool
idge, marched to Sanders theatre,
where the regular exercises took place
in the following order: Glass orator, +.
E. Hamilton, subject, ''Giants;" poem
by F. s. Palmer, Plattsburg, n. Y; ivy
Grafton by Frances Michael, San Fran
cisco. The exercises closed with the
singing of the class poem. written by E.
p. Baxter. After the exercises in the
theater had ceased, about 80 %. M, the
other festivities of the day began. The
crowds scattered in all directions about
the yards, and set about entertaining or
being entertained. Hundreds of in
vited guests began to flock in this yard
by this time and very soon had complete
possession. The. Class re-aselnbled in
front of HolwUthy, marched through

ings, then to the tree where the exer-
cises and the singing of the class song
took place. From 7:30 to 1880 there

WILL NOT RESIGN.
The Iowa College Professors Feel
Very Ugly.

Special to the Globe.
Iowa CITY, To-, June 24.-Rev. DR..
Fellows announces for himself that he
will refuse to resign his professorship
as requested by the board of regents,
and it is understood that his colleagues,
ProfS. Parker and Leonard, will follow
his lead, he being the aggressive man.
He says he will not make any fight
against the university, but will explode
the true inwardneSS of the bargains by
which the heads of himself and Leonard
were sold to the river counties for votes
in support of an appropriation in the
last legislature. Ina week he will have
out an open letter which will probably
contain some reading of great interest
to Gov. Larrabee and Re
gents Wright and Crosby.
Dig Fellows alleges that the prohibition
sentiments Of himself and Prof. Leon
ard are the only reasons for their re-
moyal, and that if they had padlocked
their lips at the commands of the re-
gents they could have stayed. While
not positively saying that Prof. Nc
Claims retention and promotion in the
law department is the result of his COM
pliance with the famous request of the
regents, he plainly indicates his opin-
ion. The chances are that the doctor
will lead strong fight, and the next
Republican state convention will be
very apt to have an entirely new dis
turbing element in the shape Of a uni
VerSity question.

DETROIT, Mich, June M.-The st.
AlbertuS Polish church war has, it is
hoped, come to an end. News that the
church would be opened this morning
was carried to the KolaSinski faction by
runners throughout the night, and long
before daylight more than 100 of the
women had scaled the fence about the
church and were breathing threats
against the Dombrowski faction, who
were gathered in large numbers outside
the railing. At daylight there were
more than 400 people about the church,
with ten police present under command
Capt. Mack and ROundsInan Meyers. At
8 O'Clock the DOmbrowSki faction. num-
bering about 2,0m, entered the convent
opposite the church and remained
there until 10:30.' At $40 one of the
KOlaSinski faction mounted a barrel
and haraalgued the crowd in Polish.
His speech greatly excited the people.
One of the men inside the fence drew a
revolver and threatened to shoot the
first man who opened the church. Capt.
Mack thought it advisable to call for
more men, and ct S:45 sent his first call,
and in few minutes about fifty addi-
tonal policemen were ON the ground.
About forty police formed in line at the
corner of st. Aubin and Fremont streets
and drove the crowd that was hanging
to the fence back across the street. In
the meantime division from the Ora
tot avenue station had cleared the
churchyard and driven the people away
from the church. About noon slight
disturbance was raised. but it was
quickly quelled by the arrest of one man
and several women, and at l o'clock the
church was opened and service began.
thus ending the long and bloody strug-
gle between the two factions which has
kept the church closed since Dec 3, 1885.
